The Institutional Repository at DePaul University

Based on the “Celebrity READ” campaign sponsored by the American Library Association since 1980, DePaul’s READ campaign allowed the DePaul University Library to feature “local celebrities” sharing works that have been especially important to them. “Celebrity READ” posters have featured artists and athletes, including Pharrell Williams, Seth Meyers, David Bowie, and Chicago’s own Common, as well as scientists and innovators, including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. For DePaul’s initial series of READ posters, the University Library proudly collaborated with DePaul Athletics and the Society of Vincent de Paul Professors to feature DePaul coaches, student athletes, and award-winning faculty.
